SIGNAL SYSTEM
4.If the coolant temperature warning light does not come on:
Check that the light comes on when the main switch is set to ON.
Check that the light comes on when the coolant temperature is 120 ± 3 °C (248 ± 5.4 °F) or higher
and that the light remains on when the coolant temperature drops to 113 °C (235.4 °F).
CONTINUITY
1.Bulb and bulb socket
Check the bulb and bulb socket for
continuity.
NO CONTINUITY
Replace the bulb and/or bulb socket.
C0NTINUITY
2.Thermo switch (cylinder head)
Remove the thermo switch (cylinder head)
from the cylinder head.
Connect the pocket tester ( × 1) to the
thermo switch (cylinder head) 1.
Immerse the thermo switch (cylinder head)
in coolant 2.
Check the thermo switch (cylinder head) for
continuity.
While heating the coolant use a thermometer
3 to record the temperatures.
